RIJEKA, Feb 27 (Hina) - The principal defendant in the Gospic case, Tihomir Oreskovic, has given up from introducing his defence and will continue to stand mute, his defence attorney Zeljko Dumancic told reporters Tuesday.
Investigative proceedings are being held at the Rijeka County Court against suspects of war crimes against civilians committed in Croatia's central town of Gospic in 1991, in which Oreskovic is the primary accused. At the start of the investigative proceedings, "my client was accused of issuing a warrant for the killing of citizens of Serb nationality, and now, after the indictment was expanded to General Mirko Norac and Colonel Milan Canic, it has been alluded that the orders for liquidation were issued by the three men in collusion," Dumancic said and added the defence can neither be prepared or introduced until the charges brought against his client are completely clarified.(hina
